STOP is a word game by Oort Games to play with friends on the same Wi-Fi network. It has no servers of its own, accounts or analytics. It is free with Google AdMob ads, which a one-time purchase removes; the ads and the purchase are handled by Google and RevenueCat. The game itself sends no data about you to the developer.
What data STOP uses
| Data | What for | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| The name and avatar you choose | So the other players recognize you in the game | To the phones in the same game, over the local network |
| Your answers in each round | Playing: the host reviews and scores them | To the host's phone; after each round, to every player in the game |
| The host's name | So the others can find the game | Announced on the local Wi-Fi network (mDNS) while the room is open |
| Language, saved categories, last name and avatar | Remembering your preferences | Only on your phone |
| Data of the game in progress (session ID, game state) | Getting back into the game if the connection drops | Only on your phone |
Game data travels only over the local network, directly between the phones, and unencrypted: anyone on the same Wi-Fi network could see it. Don't write anything in your name or answers that you don't want the other players to see.
STOP does not ask for location permission, does not use your contacts, camera or microphone, and does not back up its data to the cloud. Google AdMob may estimate an approximate location from your IP address to show and measure ads (see below).
Ads and the purchase to remove them
| Service | What data | What for |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob (ads) | The device advertising ID, the IP address (and the approximate location derived from it), device information, crash logs and diagnostics of the ads SDK, and your interactions with the ads | Showing and measuring ads, and preventing fraud. In the European Economic Area and the UK, STOP asks for your consent first, and you can change it in Information → Ad privacy. How Google uses this data |
| Google Play (payment) | The purchase details | Charging the «Remove ads» purchase. STOP never sees your payment details |
| RevenueCat (purchase validation) | An anonymous app user ID and STOP's purchase history | Verifying and restoring the purchase. RevenueCat's policy |
After buying «Remove ads», STOP stops loading AdMob entirely. Without internet, STOP shows no ads.
How to delete your data
What STOP stores is on your phone. To delete it, uninstall the app or clear its data in Android settings (Apps → STOP → Storage → Clear data). Google Play and RevenueCat keep the purchase history so it can be restored; if you want it deleted, write to us.
Children
STOP is not directed at children under 13.
